I'm the Culinary God

"Lin Xu, what are you filming with Qi Siming tomorrow?"

In the evening, Lin Xu finished editing the new video and was about to play some games when Shen Jiayue, fresh from her bath, walked in, inquiring about the filming content for the next day.

If it’s a favorite dish, then she’ll join in to taste the flavor.

If it’s a regular dish, she’ll take Dundun and drive to Uncle Shang to fish.

It’s said Uncle Shang’s fish pond was cleared, but Old Sun managed to catch a nearly twenty-pound grass carp, which ignited Shen Jiayue’s competitive spirit as a fishing enthusiast.

Recalling Qi Siming’s request, Lin Xu said:

"The filming content is somewhat confidential, but you should go, I guarantee it’s really delicious!"

In fact, Lin Xu doesn’t know what they’re filming either because Qi Siming just called to say he wanted to confess to Zeng Xiaoqi and hoped Lin Xu could help cover.

Such excitement-stirring matters, Lin Xu naturally wouldn’t refuse.

He not only didn’t refuse but even prompted Shen Jiayue to join in.

This kind of scene where love blossoms and is heartwarming, he never gets tired of watching, even a hundred times.

"Guarantee it’s really delicious?"

Shen Jiayue’s eyes shifted as she curiously asked:

"Are you guys going to make sweet knife cakes and honey horn cakes? These are snacks I’ve loved since childhood. It’s almost New Year, are you going to make this?"

Lin Xu opened his mouth; do you want more delicious food?

Originally going to watch the show, yet you keep obsessing over food... with such a foodie wife, even without the system, he’d probably be driven to become a chef.

He laughed and said:

"Nothing escapes my little Baobao, yes we are going to make sweet knife cakes and honey horn cakes tomorrow."

After speaking, he entered the system page, starting to exchange points for the recipes of these two snacks; it’s unlikely to confess all morning, so they might as well make them.

Others successfully confess and hold hands, we can’t just eat their dog food, we must counterattack from our side too.

Lin Xu originally planned to save up points to exchange for [Olfactory Enhancement].

But since Shen Baobao wants sweet knife cakes and honey horn cakes, he decided to make them; fortunately, these snacks aren’t expensive, just hundreds of thousands of points to exchange for superior technique.

"Ha, you didn’t mention wanting to surprise me, did you expect me to be this smart?"

Shen Jiayue hugged Lin Xu and gave him a hard kiss.

Oh, tomorrow there’s delicious food!

As for fishing at Uncle Shang’s pond, tomorrow afternoon is not too late, perfect to go with Yan Bao and let her experience this fishing master’s true prowess!

Early the next morning, Lin Xu finished washing up and went downstairs to prepare breakfast.

He took out the fish noodles made a few days ago, cooked them with beef, and added a lot of crispy bits to each portion, making them into simple crispy bits fish noodles.

Everything ready, he then went upstairs to wake the still soundly sleeping Baobao:

"Wake up, it’s time to eat."

"Can I sleep for another five minutes? It’s all anime’s fault for being too good, making me stay up late. From today, I won’t watch anime anymore..."

To stimulate the sleepy Baobao, Lin Xu whispered in her ear:

"Something exciting is happening at the company today; you’ll miss it if you go late."

Exciting event?

Shen Jiayue suddenly opened her eyes:

"What exciting event? Is someone coming to challenge your cooking skills? I love your face-slapping scenarios the most; quickly fetch my clothes, today I want to wear a red sweatshirt to cheer you on..."

Lin Xu: ?????????

This full-on geek talk, maybe watch less of those show-off face-slapping anime, avoid getting caught up in it.

He laughed, pinching Shen Jiayue’s fair cheek:

"It’s not a challenge, but another event. However, wearing red is still fitting."

Fitting?

Shen Jiayue’s imagination started to soar:

"Is it because a master chef is coming to cook, and you’re making me wear red to reflect our nation’s theme color? Ha, I’ll wear the China Red outfit I just bought with Yan Bao."

Lin Xu really felt defeated.

Sometimes having too vivid an imagination isn’t such a good thing.

He sighed inwardly and didn’t bring it up again, instead actively went to the closet to fetch clothes for the girl.

A set of red sweatshirt and sweatpants, along with a red down jacket, someone who doesn’t know might think she’s a bride.

After Shen Jiayue finished washing up, she and Lin Xu went downstairs to eat the fish noodles.

"I was just thinking about craving crispy bits, didn’t expect you’ve made crispy bits fish noodles, so delicious. Later when I see Yan Bao, I’ll gloat to her."

Older sis just experienced a series of unlucky events, maybe best not to torment her further.

After breakfast, they took Dundun and drove to the shop. These days, Lin Xu has gradually been teaching several roast duck chefs the technique of making roasted goose.

Though they couldn’t make roasted goose alone, they could collaborate to make it. This is a teaching technique Lin Xu intentionally exchanged for.

He worried that fully teaching one chef might lead them to become arrogant or be poached, necessitating starting from scratch with someone else.

Several people working together didn’t have to worry about such issues; they’d compete against each other internally, making poaching ineffective and preventing excessive self-confidence.

After a round of inspection, Lin Xu glanced at the progress of roasted goose without asking much.

Some chefs even prepared plum blossom and pork belly, planning to make char siu.

After taking a look around, Lin Xu carried Dundun and left the shop with Shen Jiayue, driving to Huixuan Building to participate in today’s food program filming.
